Polygon examples should close OR shapefile library should automatically close polygon for you

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create a polygon that is not closed.  
'e.poly(parts=[[[5.1,5],[9.9,5],[9.9,1],[7.5,3],[5.1,1]]])'

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
A complete shapefile.  IMO, the best solution would be for the polygon creation 
to test if last point is coincident with the first, and if it is do nothing, if 
not append the first point to close the polygon.  Another solution would be to 
make sure the examples all close.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.1.4 from PyPi.  Linux.

Please provide any additional information below.
The overall appearance in ArcGIS looks correct.  There is a line closing the 
polygon.  The problem though is that the selection of polygons is strange.

By the way - Thanks for a great bit of software!

Fixed in version 1.1.7. The Writer.poly() method automatically closes open 
polygons.
